Aluminum head identification
He is still disecting #'s to determine what we have under the hood since we have non stock engine and new pieces here and there. The only thing we can find on the heads is a W. Research tells me might be World aluminum heads but stamp doesn't match the pics of the ones I have found.

Ok, so the heads are Winters, the engine 454 casting 14015445. Intake matches to 72 model 454. A post I found on Chevelle forum says 6269318 intake was intended for a boat? Wth lol I believe it is a high rise intake that I am reading about? I also hear that the reason the valve cover does not have oil add cap is that when building the engine for racing they want solid covers without the cap? I really did not intend to get this deep into it in the beginning but I have gotten so fascinated with the wealth of info available . I am starting to get an interesting time line idea on when it probably restored.

You have some interesting parts there. Keep looking up the parts numbers online.
BTW I had one of those intakes. The water ports are brass or copper lined to resist corrosion. Also the thermostat mounting. I sold it on ebay only because I was going for originality

I'm sure someday we will probably have to take them off for one reason or another , I think what is under there is best a mystery for now with the only reason for removal being curiosity. Probably will think about changing them out for cover with oil cap, this setup looks like a PIA to me. She has not burned a drop yet, of course we have not driven it much either.
